Meet the Team

The small, close-knit Blue Poppy Dental Care team has one goal in mind: to look after your individual needs. We listen to our patients and get to know them so that we can tailor our approach just for you. Additionally, we’re always challenging each other to make improvements in our patient care. Our weekly meetings discuss all the details, down to individual cases, to make sure we’re doing everything we can for you. Get to know us a little better!
